Tweak says, "You I know at any rate."

Daisy groaned out loud when her phone lit up with an incoming call. She recognized the number as belonging to the school. Molly's School. "Shit." She answered it on the second or third ring, resisting the urge to swear again when the voice on the other line explained why they were calling, but she allowed herself a quiet dammit once she'd hung up.

Sighing, she texted Pepper quickly. Molly skipped school. I'm going out to look for her. Look for her was overstating it, because she was already pulling up the app to track her ward's phone the instant she hit send on her message to her boss. A part of Daisy might have felt a little guilty for the digital stalking, but in her defense, she only used it in situations like this. A relieved sign passed her lips as Molly's phone was quickly found. There hadn't been an alert, but that didn't mean it hadn't crossed her mind that Molly could have just disappeared like so many others had.

Throwing up a quick auto-reply on her work email, Daisy grabbed her things and left her office. She was lucky to have a cool boss who wouldn't mind her taking off for this. Daisy knew Molly could take care of herself, but she also knew she wasn't likely to just skip school on a random whim and she wanted to make sure she was okay. Her kid might be tougher than a lot of the rest of them put together, but that didn't mean she couldn't be hurt, maybe in ways her superpower couldn't help.

It didn't take her long to find Molly, thanks to the powers of modern technology. Daisy walked toward the girl, trying to affect a stern expression as she folded her arms across her chest. "I know it's a beautiful day," she commented - yes, that was sarcasm, "but that's not a great reason to not go to school, Molls," she said once she was just a couple of feet away.
